A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 116

Despite having a headache, she took her clothes off and turned on the tap. Turning her body, she carefully showered.

However, she was never great with motor skills or balance, and her face ended up scrunching up in pain when she accidentally wet her wound. Lifting her arm higher, she slammed into the bathroom door instead and immense pain shot through her arm.

"Ouch!" she yelped, and within seconds she heard a flurry of footsteps outside.

Worried, Finnick called out to her, "Vivian, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Vivian tried to reply in a hurry, but she was in too much pain that her voice shook. She did not sound fine at all.

As a result, Finnick anxiously responded, "Give me a minute. I'll come in.”

Vivian panicked and insisted, "I'm alright, and you don't have to..."

Bang! Before she could complete her sentence, she heard the bathroom door open.

The lock on the bathroom door had long been out of order, so it could easily be opened when Finnick gave it a push.

Once he entered the bathroom, he saw Vivian raising one arm while frantically trying to pull up her bath towel to cover herself with her other arm. In her hurry, she even forgot to turn off the showerhead, and water was about to cascade on her wound.

This woman is so careless!

Looking at how she seemed to be tormenting herself, Finnick could not help but feel angry. Instantly, he went forward to embrace her before turning the showerhead off.

"You are so stupid, Vivian," he chided. Then, he grabbed her arm and scanned her wound. As expected, it was inflamed, making him more frustrated. "With a showerhead like this at your house, how can you bathe alone?"

Vivian failed to pay attention to his scolding.

His thin shirt was the only thing between them, and all she could think about was how close they were. Besides, his shirt was now drenched because of her, and it clung to their bodies.
